ABSTRACT
This book is for those teachers who have management responsibility in secondary schools. It provides an analysis of those responsibilities and, at the same time, offers a wide range of practical guidelines for the development of effective strategies to enable the manager in the secondary school to cope with the changes and challenges that now confront all of us in education. The first basic premise of the book is that all teachers in secondary schools have a direct and developing part to play in the management of the school at some level. This may be as a member of a subject department or a faculty, a pastoral team, or a cross-curricular group such as that which is responsible for the Technical and Vocational Educational Initiative (TVEI) and its extension. It may be as a leader of such a group at the middle management level in the school or it may be as a member of the senior management of the school at deputy or headteacher level.
